Re: PS5 Fans Furious As Microsoft Ships DOOM: The Dark Ages with Just 85MB on the Disc

The Indiana Jones situation could have been excused as them being cheap (not for me, it was inexcusable). This however is just Microsoft being malicious. The game would have fit on a single disc that they have already paid for. They made it ***** deliberately, and they will no doubt make the Tony Hawk 3+4 and Outer Wilds 2 discs with no data deliberately.

Between the lack of, or worthless physical releases they’ve put out this year, I estimate Xbox have lost out on a fair chunk of money out of me. Shame, I was really looking forward to Doom but I’ll live without it.

@Frmknst Sorry Bobby, I just think the series is beyond stale and I thought that before they:
1. Put in loot boxes,
2. Jumped on the battle royale trend,
3. Made said BR pay to win with weapons and skins.
4. Nikki minaj.
5. Worthless game discs with no content on it
6. Bloated downloads
7. Rehashed story content
8. Cannibalised all the other Activision studios to churn out slop content over other games

That’s just what I can remember off the top of my head while sat on the toilet.

Personally AI garbage is low on my list of CoD transgressions so I summed it all up with “CoD is creatively bankrupt”.

Anyway, resume enjoying your game. Peace.

Re: Horizon's MMO Appears to Have Been Cancelled

Surely Sony didn’t need to green light 12 GaaS games simultaneously. The whole move reeked of desperation and greed from the outset and shows how clueless game executives are. Always chasing trends too late and missing the boat continuously.

So say all 12 games got made. Did Sony expect us to play all 12 simultaneously or were they expecting most to fail. Surely proceeding with your two best ideas and having the rest of your teams working on what made you a success would make more sense no? Live service games monopolise their players time to get them invested and incentivise them to start coughing up money. Nobody plays 12 live service games. They play one and getting them to jump once they are invested takes real effort. Having Bluepoint make a god of war service game is literally the dumbest thing ever when they could have been remaking Bloodborne, or the Sly Cooper trilogy or something they actually specialise in.

I’ve been fairly optimistic about this generation and have plenty of games to play and not enough time to play them all but this situation is embarrassing.

Re: Borderlands 4 Promises Not to Be Aggressively Unfunny

All I remember from playing BL3 was having a raging headache after each session. I put this down to the excessive use of particle effects and a constant stream of awful white noise of gunfire, music, enemies screaming and the npcs screaming over the radio all at the same time.
